As Moore Writes In His Preface, "The Author Of The Papers Collected In This Volume Seemed To Me To Combine Very Exceptional Brilliance With Very Great Soundness Of Judgment In Philosophy. He Was An Extraordinarily Clear Thinker And Had, Moreover, An Exceptional Power Of Drawing Conclusions From A Complicated Set Of Facts. And, With All This, He Produced The Impression Of Also Possessing The Soundest Common Sense. Ramsey Was Not Only Exceptionally Capable Of Thinking Clearly Himself; He Also Had A Most Uncommon Power Of Explaining Clearly To Others What He Thought And Why He Thought It". Ramsey Was One Of The "Profoundest Thinkers" Of The Cambridge Group, A Friend Of Wittgenstein, Who Died At The Age Of 26.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First American edition. 8vo. [4], v-xviii, [1], 2-292 pp. Green cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Edited by R.B. Braithwaite, M.A. With a preface by G.E. Moore, Litt.D. Dauben 1613. Slater 817. Ramsey is best-known for the mathematical theorem bearing his name (one of the fundamental results in combinatorics) and for his friendship and influence on Wittgenstein's later philosophy, but he made numerous other outstanding contributions as attested to by terminology inspired by his work that is still in use today ("Ramsey sentence", "Ramsey test", and "Ramsey theory"). Although his life was tragically cut short, Ramsey made major contributions in mathematics, economics, and philosophy. This collection, published shortly after his death, contains his principal work in philosophy and mathematics and one of his three influential papers in economics ("Truth and Probability"). A Near Fine book with a small name on each pastedown, very faint touch of spotting to the bottom textblock.

In 1930 Ramsey died suddenly, aged only 26, and the present book, a collection of his philosophical and logical papers and articles, contains his principal work in philosophy and mathematics and one of his three influential papers in economics ("Truth and Probability"). The collection was posthumously prepared by R. B. Braithwaite, with the assistance of Wittgenstein (cited on p. xiv). He was a close friend of Ludwig Wittgenstein and, as an undergraduate, translated Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus into English. He was also influential in persuading Wittgenstein to return to philosophy and Cambridge. Like Wittgenstein, he was a member of the Cambridge Apostles, the secret intellectual society, from 1921 (Wikipedia).

First Edition
First edition, first impression, of the posthumous collection of essays by the Wittgenstein-influenced philosopher Frank Ramsey (1904-1930), here the copy of the American philosopher Rush Rhees (1905-1999), one of the literary executors of Wittgenstein's estate, with his handwritten and typed notes loosely inserted and his extensive marginalia; a significant association volume between two close friends of Wittgenstein. Ramsey published a review of Wittgenstein's Tractatus in the journal Mind while still an undergraduate, a review which is printed on pages 270-286 of the present volume. It remains to this day one of the most reliable expositions of the work. With C. K. Ogden, Ramsey translated the Tractatus for the parallel English German edition published in 1922. Ramsey's work was thereafter infused with Wittgenstein's thought, and he became Wittgenstein's closest friend upon the latter's return to Cambridge in 1929. In 1930 Ramsey died suddenly, aged only 26, and the present book, a collection of his philosophical and logical papers and articles, was posthumously prepared by R. B. Braithwaite, with the assistance of Wittgenstein (cited on p. xiv). Wittgenstein's friend and pupil, Rhees was appointed by him, together with two others, as executor of his estate and overseer of the publication of his vast amount of unpublished work, his "Nachlass", totalling some twenty thousand pages. From these unpublished papers, Rhees prepared with Elizabeth Anscombe the Philosophical Investigations in 1953, and Wittgenstein's own works on mathematical philosophy, Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics, in 1956. Rhees himself also authored a number of philosophical works. The present volume is annotated throughout by Rhees in pencil and ink (chiefly in marginal notes), with a typescript and a manuscript copy of the article "Foundations of Mathematics" from the Encyclopedia Britannica loosely inserted (dated 1987), alongside 3 pages of typescript notes on Ramsey's writings on Wittgenstein, and 3 pages of manuscript notes in ink. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered gilt. Somewhat rolled and shaken, hinges a little split, still all holding, some toning and foxing; a good copy.

First Edition
First edition in book form, first impression. A collection of Ramsey's essays on mathematics and logic, some of which are published here for the first time. Ramsey (1903-30) was a Cambridge-based philosopher, a member of the Apostles, who died aged only 26 but contributed pioneering work to the field of logic that had been thrown into disarray by Russell and Wittgenstein. Posthumously published following Ramsey's untimely death in 1930, this copy bears a presentation inscription to the front free endpaper by Ramsey's widow Lettice (Lettice Cautley Baker): "Ludwig, from Lettice May 1931." There are two marginal pencil ticks in the sixth essay, Facts and Propositions (1927), a manual correction in pencil to Last Papers, section F. Philosophy, and a vertical rule to the Appendix, Ramsey's 'Critical Notice' on the Tractatus (1922), in a passage referring to pictures, and discussing predicate and subject. Five years older than Frank, "the very beautiful and rather nice" Lettice "was a highly intelligent woman, interested in psychology, philosophy, and the arts. Her extraordinary character is perhaps most succinctly indicated by the fact that Wittgenstein loved her, despite their alien personalities - her free-wheeling ways with sex and his prudery, her messiness and his obsession with cleanliness. Wittgenstein remained close to Lettice after Frank's death, even though she became the lover of Julian [Bell] shortly afterwards. Wittgenstein loathed him, expressing his scorn of the Apostles as 'all those Julian Bells'." (Misak). "If Wittgenstein did not turn his back on the Apostles altogether, this was chiefly because among its members was Frank Ramsey. During his first year back at Cambridge [in 1929], Ramsey was not only Wittgenstein's most valued partner in philosophical discussion, but also his closest friend. For the first two weeks after his arrival he lived with the Ramseys at their home in Mortimer Road. Ramsey's wife, Lettice, soon became a close friend and confidante - a woman who, 'at last has succeeded in soothing the fierceness of the savage hunter', as Keynes put it. She had the kind of robust sense of humour and earthy honesty that could make him relax, and gain his trust." (Monk). In a review written for the New Statesman, Keynes notes that Ramsay, appearing on the philosophical academic scene aged just 19, assisted in translating and explicating Wittgenstein's Logico-Philosophicus, and in his own work (as collected here) attempted to "tackle fundamental problems at the point at which the work of Russell and Wittgenstein had left them". Keynes offers an interesting gloss on Ramsey's epistemological pragmatism when it came to his superiors' steady reduction of logic towards nonsense: "The gradual perfection of the formal treatment at the hands of [Russell]. had been. gradually to empty it of content and to reduce it more and more to mere dry bones, until finally it seemed to exclude not only all experience, but most of the principles, usually reckoned logical, of reasonable thought. Wittgenstein's solution was to regard everything else as a sort of inspired nonsense, having great value indeed for the individual, but incapable of being exactly discussed. Ramsey's reaction was towards what he himself described as a sort of pragmatism, not unsympathetic to Russell, but repugnant to Wittgenstein. Thus he was led to consider "human logic" as distinguished from "formal logic". In attempting to distinguish a "human" logic from formal logic on the one hand and descriptive psychology on the other, Ramsey may have been pointing the way to the next field of study when formal logic has been put into good order and its highly limited scope properly defined. I cannot imagine a more stimulating book than this for students of philosophy to read." Provenance: Presentation copy, inscribed by Lettice Ramsey to Ludwig WIttgenstein, subsequently in the library of Rush Rhees, one of Wittgenstein's literary executors. With three small marginal pencil marks to pages 142, 146 (Facts and Propositions), 266 (Last papers) and 273 (Ramsey's Critical Notice of the Tractatus). Sraffa 4846. Octavo. Original dark blue cloth, gilt titles and publisher's device to spine, preserved in a custom blue cloth box, black leather label. Spine snagged at head, front board faded along joint and upper edge and corner, rear board similarly faded at upper outer corner, inner hinges cracked but holding firm. Bookblock slightly shaken, cracked in the gutter at pages 48-49, still very sound.
